The Indian Rebellion of 1857

Order Description

write a formal research paper. You will be able to choose any aspect of European Colonialism. Pick a topic that looks interesting to you. Read about it in the book
and see if there is something that you want to investigate further. I do not want to see a general report on on your topic but instead an argument that you will defend
with your research Look ahead into the text at all of the regions and periods we will be covering, don’t just pick something from the first week unless it is of
genuine interest to you.

The paper itself will be a minimum of eight and a maximum pages long, not including the bibliography and coversheet. Use a minimum of five sources. Fewer than eight
pages will not give you adequate space to provide detailed analysis of the material. If you find yourself going over ten pages, you need to narrow your focus. All
papers will need to be cited in proper Chicago/Turabian style footnotes or endnotes. I realize that you may not be familiar with this style but do not default into MLA
simply because that is what you always use. History uses footnotes for specific reasons, primarily because they are a part of the narrative, they give you a chance to
expand upon ideas that may not immediately fit into the body of the essay and they are the only way to cite archive and unpublished sources, which is what historical
research is based on. Your notes do not have to be perfect, but you do need to make a wholehearted attempt at using the proper citation format. All research papers not
only need notes but they also must include a bibliography listing all sources that you used in your research, not just the ones that you cited directly. This allows
the reader to follow your thinking and your research and to understand where your ideas came from. The most daunting of college assignments is the research essay.
Trying to come up with a topic and writing about it can nearly paralyze some students with fear. This guide should help you not only come up with a good topic, but
also instruct you on how to write a good academic paper.
Communication is the key to success in life. No matter what your field is, you need to be able to relay ideas, information, and instructions to those around you. If
you are not clear and precise in your communication, mistakes can happen or clients can be lost. Writing is an important part of communication. Learning to write well
will aid you in your class work, your career, and your verbal communication skills. It will help you order your thoughts, to improve your rhetorical skills, and give
you the ability to think critically about what you read, see, and hear. The ability to pose a thesis, to find evidence to support your claim and to present that
evidence with sound analysis and understanding is not isolated to only certain subjects. It is the basis for all academic writing and all forms of communication.
A good academic paper is one that is organized, concise, factual, and well written. An excellent paper will have sound research. The sources will be credible, they
will be accurate and used properly. The author will not rely solely on the facts gleaned out of the material they read, they will analyze it, interpret it, deconstruct
it, and apply that research to their own ideas. The author will choose every word in the paper with care, to lend credibility to his or her thesis claims. A successful
paper is organized. It will move from claim to claim while creating connections between these ideas in a clear and concise manner
